Girls und War

However, they didn't want any of the middle-level commanders of the two special forces teams.

Only a few new combat team leaders at the lieutenant colonel level were added, so Xia Shu still held the command firmly in his hands.

After signing the documents, Dong Ying and Pei Pei looked at the obligations they needed to fulfill and immediately felt like they had been cheated.

This force is not under their command, and they have to pay for it themselves. Part of the fiscal budget is used to subsidize the special forces every quarter.

The benefits? They are invisible to the naked eye.

Wasn't he sold out by the young commander and still helping her count the money?

But think about it, the three of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If Princess Zhao knew what they did, it is possible that all three of them would be exterminated.

Therefore, for the sake of my current position and future military achievements, the agreement made at this time must not be told to anyone else.

Especially the remaining generals in the war zone, not a single word can be revealed to them.

So the three generals warned the officers in the conference room again that if even a word of what happened in this room was leaked out, that big mouth would be in big trouble.

The officers in the conference room were all direct subordinates of the three of them. They naturally knew the priorities at this time and quickly agreed.

Then they discussed the handover of those military equipment.

Among them, the strategic transport aircraft was the largest one, and they repeatedly confirmed the handover method.

In the end, Xia Shu decided to place the transport plane in the main base of the special forces.

Regardless of whether you use it or not, you will definitely feel uneasy if you keep such a valuable item somewhere else.

As for helicopters, they will naturally be placed on aircraft carriers to expand combat power.

At this time, the young commander flattered the two men, saying, "How about some more carrier-based aircraft? Vertical take-off and landing aircraft, like the Owl-B, for the Sea Cat?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Pei couldn't help but curse, "Do you think top-tier fighter jets are cheap? You can just give me as many as I want? Why do you need such powerful aircraft? Are you really planning to build an aircraft carrier fleet?"

The young commander pouted and said with a hint of disdain, "Your own special forces team is coming over, and you can't give them more equipment? You even give a dowry when you marry off your daughter..."

Pei Pei's face twisted with anger upon hearing this, and she cursed again, "Even if it's a dowry, I've given enough! Isn't even a strategic transport plane enough? You damn shorty, don't go too far!"

After hearing this, the young commander didn't get angry. He just curled his lips and said, "Stingy."

Then he looked at Tsunade again, with eager light flashing in his eyes.

"No, no..." Zhu Ying waved his hands quickly.

These young commanders were not happy. She slammed the table and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you? You don't even need the Owl B! I know you have some in your warehouse! Why are you hiding it? Are you leaving it to gather dust? We need it for our aircraft carrier!"

The two hesitated for a moment, and Pei Pei could only grit her teeth and say, "There's only one in the warehouse. Just this one! There aren't any more!"

Seeing this, Zhu Ying could only sigh and said, "I still have two, no more."

"Three? Three...it's hard to rotate them." The young commander stroked his smooth chin and said, "How about we all chip in and get one, so we can get four. That would be much better."

Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment and replied, "I have no objection," then looked at Pei Pei.

Pei Pei waved her hands impatiently and said, "Alright, alright! You have the final say! Let's move on to the next item, quickly."

Upon seeing this, the young commander nodded with great satisfaction, and asked Qimingxing to take out a purchase contract, and the three of them signed on it respectively.

So the aircraft carrier-based aircraft that Xia Shu had been dreaming of was finally obtained by the young commander in just a few words.

However, these things have to be paid for by the special forces.

Their funding comes from joint investment from the navy, army and government.

This made Xia Shu feel like his special forces unit was now on the market.

The three generals in front of him are his largest shareholders.

As for myself, I look like a worker no matter how you look at it.

But Xia Shu didn't care about this.

What she cares about more may be the real benefits that power can bring that she can see right before her eyes.

The reorganization and formation of an independent force is really just a matter of a word from them.

In just one hour, how many officers will be redeployed and how many people's positions will be affected?

The cause of this was nothing more than an idea of ​​the young commander.

Xia Shu now deeply felt what true power was.

And it further deepened the idea that "a real man should be like this, and he can replace him."

After this meeting, various orders were issued in an orderly manner from the three armed forces headquarters.

The merger of the special operations forces of the Navy and the Air Force left many mid-level officers who were about to show their skills unemployed.

The scene was filled with grief.

However, Peipei and Zhu Ying did not disband these departments, but instead reorganized them into combat management personnel to connect with the special forces, making them responsible for receiving battlefield support calls from the special forces.

The newly formed special operations forces are now completely independent from the Army Headquarters and have become an independent combat branch of the army jointly established by three parties.

After receiving the order, Princess Zhao felt a little uncomfortable, but she did not think too much about it.

Because it was she who agreed to the independence of the special forces.

So the special forces were merged into independent orders, and she still signed and agreed.

The level of the newly formed special forces is close to that of the front-line integrated headquarters, almost on the same level as them.

In this case, as a powerful battlefield commander, Xia Shu's rank of major is a bit too low.

So the young commander quickly asked Jun Ci to help go through the process and raise her rank to lieutenant colonel.

Originally, Xia Shu, who had just been promoted to major less than three months ago, was not allowed to be promoted so quickly according to regulations.

But coincidentally, the special forces led by Xia Shu had just won a team-level gold-rimmed military medal at the opening ceremony of the previous war zone competition.

After obtaining this military merit, regulations allow for exceptional promotion.

Although this military achievement was made before Xia Shu was promoted, he was awarded the rank after the promotion!

Then with a little bit of work, wouldn't it be possible to sign in compliance?

So, Xia Shu completed his promotion from major to lieutenant colonel in three months.

It's really the envy of others.

983. "Little Princess" Strategic Transport Aircraft

After returning from the headquarters, Xia Shu, who was promoted to lieutenant colonel under the special approval of Lieutenant General Yanweidie, the Secretary General of the Army Management Department, was immediately greeted with a lot of congratulations.

Everyone was genuinely surprised at Xia Shu's speed of promotion.

Because this promotion efficiency is something they can't even learn. They don't even know how to be jealous.

Normally, a promotion to the rank of major requires at least one year of excellent work ratings.

For example, Doragon, whose ability to accumulate experience was already exceptional, spent more than a year in training camp before being promoted from major to lieutenant colonel.

For those officers of lower rank, it is common for them not to be mentioned for several years.

But Xia Shu... well, Xia Shu's promotion has always been so rapid, so there is nothing to be surprised about.

However, Dragon still looked at Xia Shu's rank and said sourly, "I worked so hard, so hard, and finally got promoted to lieutenant colonel. And you got promoted so easily. This is not fair..."

Hearing this, the girls next to her looked at her with contempt.

Work hard? You work hard for nothing.

He spent every day in the trophy display room and wandered around the camp like an old man, but when he went to attend a generals' meeting, he couldn't even understand an internal reference report.

This incident has become a laughing stock of the entire special forces, but this Doragon is not ashamed and still has the nerve to hang around.

Seeing that he had failed to please anyone, Dragon could only laugh awkwardly twice, retreat into the crowd and stop talking.

Xia Shu took advantage of everyone's presence to announce to them the merger of the special forces.

Although some veterans of the original special forces were somewhat dissatisfied, this was, after all, the arrangement made by headquarters.

So no matter what they think, the merger is a foregone conclusion.

The Air Force Department and the Navy Department were also very efficient. Within two days, members of the two special forces teams moved into the special forces dormitories.

It is worth mentioning that several of the leading officers looked quite familiar to everyone.

After asking, I found out that they also came from the training camp here.

As expected, the special operations forces of the navy and the air force were established by stealing the divisions from Xia Shu's special operations battalion.

With this kind of relationship, the girls on both sides are less hostile.

Seeing that the merger of the special forces went very smoothly, Xia Shu gradually felt relieved.

In the following days, Xia Shu and several of his departments were busy with the work of recruiting personnel and equipment.

Xia Shu also took some time to go to the imaginary battlefield to see the several planes sent by the Air Force Department. They were indeed very beautiful and looked very advanced at first glance.

The most expensive strategic transport aircraft is extremely delicate.

The fuselage is more than 90 meters long and has a wingspan of more than 80 meters, and the entire fuselage is covered with expensive stealth coating.

Routine maintenance is extremely troublesome, so the Air Force specially customized a dedicated maintenance hangar for it.

This treatment is no different from that of a stealth strategic bomber.

However, for such an expensive aircraft, its use is worth the money.

Four high-power, low-noise engines allow this transport aircraft to have a maximum take-off weight of two hundred tons.

At the same time, its takeoff run requirements are very low, only more than 1800 meters - which is considered as light as a swallow among strategic transport aircraft of the same level.

Her maximum range is about 6,000 kilometers, and her cabin capacity can accommodate a battalion of troops.

In other words, this transport plane can carry all combat members of the special forces without being noticed, airdrop to the enemy-controlled area 3,000 kilometers away, and then fly back without being noticed by the enemy.

This does not include the distance for aerial refueling.

If we add in the air endurance, I'm afraid there will be no place in the entire imaginary battlefield that this plane cannot fly.

This plane also has a very cool name, called "Sky Island".

However, the members of the Air Force Department prefer to call her another name - "Little Princess".

This is because the aircraft is so delicate that the annual maintenance cost is as high as tens of millions.

So this time, Xia Shu not only invited an "aircraft carrier" for the special forces, but also invited a money-burning and prodigal girl.

It’s no wonder that the Air Force can sell a newly manufactured aircraft to special forces at a discount.

The maintenance costs are beyond the capacity of ordinary troops.

Fortunately, the Air Force Department is now one of Xia Shu's "stepfathers", otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to find such a "good wife".

-

A few days later, when all matters concerning the special forces merger were concluded, Xia Shu gathered all the commanding officers in the camp and prepared to announce the special forces' next phase of combat plan to them.

Everyone was very excited to hear the news.

Because the special forces haven't carried out a major combat mission in almost a year. The last major mission was during Operation Penguin.

Everyone felt that if this continued, their title as the number one special forces unit on the battlefield would be lost.

So no matter what, everyone was very excited for this operation, fearing that Natsuki would not let them participate in the battle if they didn't perform well.

This combat meeting was headed by Xia Shu and her combat staff team.

This group has now begun to take on the nature of a staff. So even though Xia Shu is only a lieutenant colonel, his aura in the meeting is much stronger than that of Captain Yixian, who is also a lieutenant colonel.

At this time, the special forces conference room was already full of officers from various departments, but Xia Shu was more easy-going, and everyone in the meeting room was also more casual, and there was no tense atmosphere.

The venue was divided into three sections, with officers from the original "Unknown Squad" occupying the largest section, and new colleagues from the Navy and Air Force occupying the smaller section.

The remaining officers of the Off-site Management Department, although the smallest in number, have the highest status.

Because their leader is Colonel Jiamei.

In short, this small special forces unit, judging from the demeanor of its officers alone, already has the airs of a small imperial court.

And it was in this environment that Xia Shu began his future battle plan meeting.
